JOHANNESBURG - A Zimbabwean faith healer, who calls himself a “prophet”, on Saturday claimed during a church service in South Africa that he can heal the sick, including those with HIV, through his satellite broadcasts.

The Zimbabwe-based “prophet” Walter Magaya’s outrageous claims attracted about 200 hopefuls to his sermon at the Gallagher Convention Centre on Saturday.

Magaya’s Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries say they use their satellite services to “heal all sicknesses and poverty”.

Some followers at the service said they paid as much as R200 a month for “partnership cards” that allowed them access to the sermons.

The church, which has a large following in Zimbabwe, makes outrageous claims that its “prophet” can heal those infected with HIV.
